How did you get started in Crown Vic racing?
I have been around racing my whole life my dad has driven everything from Mini Stocks to Open wheeled Modifieds
Why did you choose Crown Vic racing?
I did not want to race Go Carts or Quarter Midgets my parents had both for me. When I see my local home track did not put an Age on Crown-Vics I asked my dad for us to build one.
Racing experience and biggest highlight
My 1st year racing i was 10yrs old and i ended the race season 3rd in points and Rookie of the year. My 2nd year racing i won 14 out of 19 race at Caraway Speedway to bring home the 2024 Championship for the Crown-Vics. I was also told i was the youngest driver to ever receive a track championship at 12. I won the 1st ever Crown-Vic race at Carteret County Speedway. I won the very 1st Crown-Vic Race put on at Dillon Motor Speedway. I won 4 races at Lonesome Pine Raceway before they closed last year. I have a Win at Hickory Motor Speedway. And just won the very 1st Crown-Vic race at ACE Speedway this past Saturday!
Toughest track and why
I feel like ACE Speedway is a tough track. With the fast straight away speeds and then the tight corners. took me a couple different running lines to find the one that worked best for me.
People who helped your racing journey
1st is my Dad (Tony Black) he has never told me no when i wanted to start this journey. He is always working and keeping my cars up. Giving me advice on different tracks and just being behind me 100%. 2nd would be my Best Friend Dalton Miller. Dalton is my spotter he is my eyes from above that keeps me safe and out of any wrecks and guides me thru traffic. He also works on my car when we need it. He knows when to push me to make me a better driver. I couldn't do it without these two. To my mom for making sure we always have what we need to go racing. My sister for being my personal cheerleader and photographer. All my family and friends that support me!
